Good morning, Joyce.
Was that Will I heard back there?
Will?
In my house?
Will didn't spend the night?
Manuel!!
So you invited that skinny kid
to the house
without asking permission, huh?
I think he just, uh
left early for school.
This white lady is crazy
Absolutely batshit crazy.
Hello?
Luz?
Yamaira!
No, no, no, girl-
listen to this...
Will's mom
just called me to ask
if Will was in my house.
At eight in the morning!!
Can you believe that?
Look, this is exactly what happens
when you buy a twelve year old a bike.
I was twenty-six years old
when I got my first bike.
I've never even ridden a bike!
Well, Rosa told Mercedes
who told Juana who told me
that this crazy Joyce?
Just bought all the Christmas lights in town!
And how does she expect me
to celebrate the baby Jesus, huh?
With a lamp?!
Something about "El Cuco"
or I-I don't know what!
Ugh, these Americans.
So dramatic.
Yeah.
We gotta get out of Hawkins.
Oh-
I gotta go, okay?
The news is on.
Okay, bye bye.
Okay, bye.
Turn the TV on for me!
Put on "Yessenia."
You know I never miss her show.
Whaddup everybody??
Welcome back to another
episode of Go Off.
I'm your girl Jessica Marie Garcia.
And here is my gorgeous co-host:
Julissa Calderon. What's up gorgeous?
Waddup gorgeous?
You looking good in that leather.
Okay Selena vibesssss.
You know what, I tried.
I thought we were going a little haunted
but I was like, you know what, I'm gonna take it to a good spirit.
We are so excited to chat
about all things superstition in Latino
families because we know that's the
thing.
And our different takes on astrology.
I myself, I'm a Capricorn girl, I live for
astrology.
Jess what are you?
Oh my god
I'm just an old bitch I think is what it is.
I mean, I'm a lot of things. I'm an Aries
sun, Capricorn
moon and a Gemini rising which means I'm
probably a lot.
And we are also so
excited for our girl Alycia Pascual-Peña
to be joining us
in a little bit.
And next we are going to
talk about "Haunted: LatinoAmérica"
It's a doc series featuring first-hand
accounts of people who've experienced
paranormal activity or hauntings.
This shit was spooky AF.
This show was intense, it had this creepy
ass doll that like was supposed to start
off pretty
and then ended up like haunting this
family it's also a thing
Dolls are a thing
like, I feel like as a kid I remember like
always keeping my eye on the doll like
I don't know about you
Did you move a little bit, bitch?
You gotta say a doll is pretty or it
will haunt you. I used to tell all my
dolls how pretty they were so they
wouldn't fuckin' come to life at night
and kill me.
You know what because I could feel it now
now Jess I'm not playing with y'all.
I'm about to light this up
because y'all not about to have me spooked out.
[In Spanish]: Sweet Lord, we're okay. We're okay.
We're okay.
I love everything ghost stories, I don't
know about you.
Jess, you believe in ghosts
or spirits
and have you experienced anything
paranormal in your life?
Yes yes yes and all the yes.
So I was in
my house in Florida
um and I was in our computer room at the
time like because like I'm
100 years old and there was a door open
and like some air was coming through and
my mom was like you know the ac is on
like close the damn door.
So she comes from another room and she's
like Jessica close the door and I'm like
I will in a second you know cause I'm a
brat
and she goes no close it now and I'm
like mom I'm not, I'll close it in a
second.
And we're arguing and then the door went
from all the way open and
slams closed all all by itself.
You see that was Papa Dios trying to tell you
to respect your mama that's really what
it was.
Right?
You're right.
Like wait listen though
Jess, do you believe in like the
Chupacabra
Big Foot, "El Cuco"
that's like a Dominican thing.
Please talk to me about this.
El Cuco is
supposed to be at night
right and he's supposed to show up in
the night time.
But like, what is he?
He's El Cuco.
Is it like- what is it?
I've never seen
him and I don't want to so I couldn't
tell you.
Girl we gotta Google.
And El Chupacabra.
You've heard of Chupacabra.
Yes.
Oh yeah yeah absolutely absolutely. -Everyone has.
Do you think that's kind of like a Latino
thing, do you think that Latinos
generally are more open to
to the paranormal?
I definitely think
it's more of a
people of color thing, I don't know if
it's just Latinos. I would also say like
people of color we just have these
things
because we're so in tune with
higher power and all of those things so
I feel like
it's us it's an us thing.
Yeah.
What were some of yours? What was some of the
superstitions you had?
My mom never
wanted me to wear
a ring on this hand that wasn't my
wedding ring.
So that you could get
married.
Yeah absolutely.
And she was right cause
you married girl.
Don't get for that credit. Don't give her
that credit.
And I wear an Azabache every day of my
life.
That's the Cuban side of you girl.
Yeah that's the Cuban.
Don't put your purse on the floor
because you need all that monies.
You see? It's a thing.
If you sweeping
don't sweep my feet
Right.
Because I'm trying to get married.
Right.
All right now before we bring out those
ouija boards we have an incredible
incredible guest for you all.
I am so
proud to have this girl stepping onto
the scene
a fellow Dominicana: please welcome
Alycia Pascual-Peña.
Hi!!
I recently talked to your mom on the
Gram.
It was so cute.
Con Todo put like a
picture
of like Alycia and so I commented like I
love her
and so her mom responded to me in the
comment
but like she responded like: "and she and
she's so inspired by you
she looks up to you" and I'm like oh
that's really nice someone commented
that like how do they know that?
And then I click on the page and it's
her mom and I was like oh
are you kidding?
She's like I don't care
who you are like if i want to get in
contact with you i'm going to get in
oh absolutely. -Yup!
Latina mommies. And of course she thought
that she had some part to do with
it um because she was like i reached out
to her like
[That was me]
like i dm'd her and i was like okay mama
like you can have this one if you would
like that
so the theme of this show alicia is
spirits and astrology and
ghosts and all of these things from the
other realm
did your family have superstitions with
you growing up absolutely
i am not very superstitious but my
family is very superstitious and i think
that these are just like dominican old
wives tales
um that they very firmly believe in.
For example: you don't put your purse on the
ground because you're finna lose money
i feel like that's an entire Latino
thing and as I currently sit with
my purse low-key on the ground
it up
pick it up pick it up
pick it up right now!
your career just started don't do that
don't do that
we need we need all the coins okay we
we need all the money!
We’re securing the bag, yes!!
To never buy your partner's shoes
because they're going to walk out of
your life
um what about el cuco i know
Ayyy, no!!
did you see? NO, I don't even like hearing
that name.
How about santeria like do you know
anything about that
does your family do it they wouldn't
Dibble and dabble in any of that?
Her mother is not going to let us hang
out with her after this
she's like
Oh my GOD!
No.
I am Christian and the Lord is like the
root of everything in my life but I
I'm actually really inspired by Santeria
even though it's it's
uh something that i don't personally
engage in i think it's so beautiful i
think
um you're doing yourself in the world a
disservice to not learn about
spiritual practices and um things
outside of yourself i think you can
inspire them
and even if you don't take part in it
and it also takes me immediately to
Palo, which i think is
one of the most beautiful forms of music
on the planet
i personally at every Dominican party
I hear Palo, i'm taking a white rag it's
up in the air
we are so thankful that you came to join
us on Go Off!
Going off about these topics we are
Listen:
we are like we got a magnifying glass on
your career we are
watching you skyrocket and you better
keep that purse off the ground
okay? - It's off the ground thank you guys
Thank you guys!
Thank you so
much for joining us oh she's so sweet
I love her I love her!
What got you into Astrology?
Like - what do you love about it
Like what have you learned about
yourself
i feel like one day someone was like
you're a capricorn right and they read
me my whole life and i was like
uh-uh i found out my rising and my moon.
I’m a double Cap
and Aries actually sometimes i think i
use it too much
oh really ?
Hypothetically there was this
girl named
BULISSA!
and Bulissa dated this guy
who was a Cancer. Finds out all about
these cancers right and as the
relationship continued and go went on
and went on and went on
all the toxic things about a cancer
started to like reveal in this
relationship
Well, fast forward: Bulissa didn't like
this person anymore and they decided to
part ways
and then Bulissa met another cancer and
when she met the next cancer she was
like uh-uh
not doing it i already know from the
past which i think is the toxic part
right but then Juliss--
BULISSA - found that all of the
beautiful things that she saw
that she read of the cancers and not the
toxic stuff
was in this next person basically it's
not
all capricorns are not the same aries
are not the same all cancers are not the
same everybody has different traits and
i do think that the more you know
which is like you're rising and your
moon is where you know
more about the person absolutely ladies
Ladies - on the first date
as soon as you sit down: “Hi, how you doing
what time were you born?
Write it on your phone, log in for later
you know what i think i think you saved
Bulissa’s life.
I truly did i have so much love for her.
I do know,
that i have a habit of dating
Sagittarius men and that not being a
good thing.
I married a Leo, we're perfect we're
fire on fire it's great
amazing but not a sagittarius
Sagittarius was a no bueno for me
Walter Mercado would be so proud of us
I know I know I know!
He’s here with us!
Mucho Mucho Amor!!
Wait, there's there's something really
sketchy happening again in Hawkins
i don't know what's going on but we're
gonna leave it to the local news teams
in town to give you the details
Roll it!
Good evening Hawkins, Indiana.
I'm Jennifer San Pedro
and you're watching
Channel 7 News.
Your number one in ratings-
your only one in options.
[In Spanish]: Good evening to the Hispanic people in Hawkins:
Yamaira
Carlos, Altagracia
Luz y Salvador.
I'm Yessenia De Sanchez Duarte Y Mella Tambien
and here are tonight's
top stories.
We come to you live with a developing story:
A coyote runs loose in a local farming community.
The Chupacabra is running loose in our streets!
Scientists blame freezing temperatures
and unexpected rainfall
for the depletion of its natural food sources.
Experts believe
that the recent downpour
was caused by a curse cast by Satan.
We go to our wildlife expert
Dan Kellogg
for a perfectly rational explanation.
...Dan?
Our in-house sorcerer
Javier Mella
explains how the Chupacabra arrived in Hawkins
from the Caribbean
without knowing how to swim.
Riveting stuff, Dan.
I certainly wouldn't want to be a
roadrunner tonight.
Thank you, Javier.
And best of luck
with your great-grandfather's resurrection.
Next, an interview witht the farmer himself
who says somehow
big government is to blame?
When we return
my interview
with the spirit of Walter Mercado.
Apparently,
the Chupacabra
is a Pisces!
Luckily, they say
this “hairy beast”
is ultimately
"too small" to do any "real damage."
Helpful advice for anyone dealing with
my ex-husband.
And now live in the studio
a guided cleansing
by our resident Shaman
Doña Mama Licha.
Breaking news tonight:
Our sister-news station
Canal Once
catches fire
during an in-studio seance.
We go live for the burning details.
Julissa! Girl, we got Fan Love!
Oh this is my favorite part!
It’s my favorite part!
And this time we're gonna do something a
little bit different.
Typically,
we ask you to give us questions but this
time we have special questions for you
all and you told us some
really fun, really scary ones do you
or your family have superstitions or
have you
ever experienced paranormal activity
tell me your best stories and how
you handled it my foot got pulled in my
My foot got pulled in my sleep
once and my bro woke up
with choking marks on his neck
well what kind of “choking” are we talking about?
My mom grew up in Mexico and she had a
duende
when she was a kid he wanted her to make
babies so she
ended up getting an exorcism done oh
this took a turn
this took a turn so she ended up getting
an exorcism
done when she was only six years old
because it was getting out of hand
WHAT?
At six years old??
Do you imagine at six years old
I don’t even feel like you could comprehend
what's going on
Exorcism on a six-year-old? That sounds
horrific. I'm so sorry
I can sometimes hear footsteps in my
mom's room or smell my mom's perfume
she passed away in July.
I know.
That’s also beautiful, like you know
that she's with you
and that's also like i feel like you
know um your mother reminding you like
i'm here i'm never going to leave you
yes shout out to her
like absolutely praying for you mama
Do you think people blame their toxic
behaviors
on their zodiac side too much which
signs
are the best and worst to you? Spill it!
The worst sign is def a Scorpio.
No offense to any but they’re all devils.
Daaaang. All of ‘em?
Sagittarius people be rude AF
for no reason and just want you to
take their crap.
Daaamn.
I love Sagittarius people. I think they’e so
happy. I mean i've met some incredible
Sagittarius women
i already talked to you about
Sagittarius men.
Oooh. Maybe she met one of the
them mens.
Of course she is.
